Rain Weenie

It's been quite the wild weather week in Southern CA. I have always chuckled a little at Southern CA because anytime there is a slight sprinkle, everyone freaks out and it's the top news story on all of the stations. Last week when they were talking about Southern CA having 8in. of rain, I kept thinking they were exaggerating. Yeah, I don't think they were.

I hate the rain, I really do. Actually, I think the rain is good - I definitely understand the importance of it and I know we need it. I just hate being out in it. I hate that feeling of being cold and wet - shoes wet, feet wet, pants wet up to my ankles. And, half the time, having an umbrella doesn't do any good. I have yet to master getting gracefully in/out of my car w/an umbrella without getting wet. I also hate lightning/thunder storms. There's no real logic there, I just do.

I also hate driving in the rain. It just makes me so uncomfortable. I already don't trust anyone else on the road, so I really don't trust them when it's raining...and some people are just plain stupid when it comes to driving in the rain. Yeah, go ahead and tailgate me...if I have to stop suddenly, you probably won't have enough traction to stop before hitting me. Jerks. I'm not one of the slow pokes, but I am careful.

So, I am quite enjoying the break in the rain and it's nice to see the sun. Don't suppose it will last long though, I hear it's supposed to rain at some point next week. The one thing I enjoyed about this last week? The cold air and actually having a winter.
